Prove me wrong..................?

Reaching absolute zero would be possible as long as the process of doing so created an increase in entropy elsewhere. Similar to how evolution is possible. There, I just solved one of the world's great mysteries. (Probably not, but I'm bored)

Update: Why is it only possible to get increasingly close to ab zero. I can take 100 coins and increase their "order" untill I get all of them to be tails, which would be reaching "absolute heads zero". Why should temp be any different.

P.S Yes, I am a horrible speller. I can thank MS Word for that

Best Answer: Trying to reach absolute zero is like trying to push a mass up to
the speed of light: you can get arbitrairly close (if you're willing to invest
enough energy), but you can never get all the way there.

Anyways I think there should be a trick where theoretically we could reach absolute zero, just like it is possible to reach Speed of light, in some theories.

Temperature is a measure of particle motion.
The tiniest particles are energy waves as much as they are particles, and their location or motion is not precisely measurable. If you measure it, you perturb it. So absolute zero is a theoretical idea only, not a possible reality.

Evolution is quite possible, just like snowflakes are possible. Iteration can increase order and can build upon order that it sets up. It's a fact, really, that it's possible. The thing we don't understand about it is, why is life and evolution part of the nature of the universe, when we can imagine a universe under the same laws, where there was no life or evolution. That's the question science can't answer, and the one that you can answer God to without ever contradicting science. Just don't get too literal about what "God" is.

It doesn't have anything to do with entropy. Assuming the theorems are correct, all motion would cease at absolute zero, as such no energy could be used or released. This is counter to the laws of thermodynamics. So by this assessment you have not solved a mystery you have to linked to unlike theories and have thus, logically reached no conclusion. Sorry!

Absolute Zero requires the total absence of energy, hence the total absence of matter in any form, hence the absence of the universe which would propagate backwards to wipe out all creation, which would, in turn, create an insurmountable paradox because it would require the negation of incalculable energy and matter, which would require incalcualable energy times 10 to the Nth which would in and of itself thwart any attempt to reach Absolute Zero causing a temporal loop worthy of a Star Trek episode.

but the only issue is how would a machine that is producing absolute zero provide an increase in entropy somewhere else that is relative to the dropping temperature...

the main issue is that all machinery shuts down at absolute zero...well actually about 3 billionths before absolute zero. which makes it really hard to be doing anything,including increasing entropy somewhere else...plus i dont think that would actaully help...if someone dropped a jar of marbles entropy is increased, but you dont see absolute zero bein reached i a merble factory now do ya?

The problem with reaching absolute zero is that the only ways we can make something cooler is by transferring heat from it into something even more cool or by decompressing it. Neither method is able to decrease something to absolute zero. If you transfer heat into something cooler, then you'd have to have something that is already at absolute zero. And, if you decompress something, you decrease the temperature by the ratio of how much you decompress it.

Wrong absolute zero is only theoretically in deep space but we can't make it on earth because its simply not cold enough. Evolution still has order it is just less specific so stop thinking about these things.
